Answer to Question 1

Stack temperature - ambient temperature = net stack temperature

Answer to Question 2

The heat required to increase the temperature of 5 pounds of ice from 10F to

32F is calculated using the specific heat formula:

BTUs = pounds x F T x specific heat capacity in BTU per pound.

BTUs=5 lb x 22 x 0.5 = 55 BTUs

The heat required to melt 5 pounds of ice is calculated using the latent heat

formula:

BTU = weight x latent heat factor

BTU= 5 x 144 = 720 BTUs

The heat required to increase the temperature of 5 pounds of water from 32F

to 212F is calculated using the specific heat formula:

BTUs = pounds x F T x specific heat capacity in BTU per pound.

BTUs=10 lb x 180 x 1 = 1800 BTUs

The heat required to boil 5 pounds of water is calculated using the latent heat

formula:

BTU = weight x latent heat factor BTU= 5 x 970 = 4850 BTUs
The heat required to increase the temperature of a pound of steam from 212F to 242F is calculated using the specific heat formula:

BTUs = pounds x F T x specific heat capacity in BTU per pound. BTUs=5 lb x 30 x 0.5 = 75 BTUs
Finally, sum the results

55 BTUs + 720 BTUs + 1800 BTUs + 4850 BTUs + 75 BTUs = 7500 BTU

More than 30% of American adults, and about 12% of children utilize health care approaches that were developed outside of conventional medicine.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

Did you know?

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
